A comparative study of SOI inverter circuits for low-voltage and low-power applications

Abstract

Substantial progress has been made in SOI technology for low-voltage and low-power applications in recent years. Novel SOI devices, with the capabilities of low power and high performance, have been proposed, modeled and fabricated. A comparison of these devices at circuit level is highly required. However, previous works are either incomplete or at device level. In this paper, a comparative study of inverter circuits composed of four types of SOI devices is conducted based on MEDICI simulation.
